The certification process

Forms

Application Forms for Medical Devices

The new TÜV SÜD digital application forms can be completed electronically and saved. They can be used not only as applications but also as guidelines and checklists, helping you through the complex process of application for, say, a conformity assessment procedure in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD).

In addition, help texts are provided for sections of the form that need explanation, facilitating completion of the forms and supplying valuable supplementary information that reduces the need for queries and research. They include references to the official websites of the competent commission/authority and further documents. You can thus inform yourself in a targeted manner about individual aspects without further research efforts.
